What should a buyer check before signing up?
DocHub states that the free plan restricts core features to only three uses per month, and Smallpdf that the free tier imposes limits on document downloads and tool access. EasePDF states that the free plan limits users to only two tasks per day, and pdfsam.org that the product lacks full cross-platform support as Enhanced runs on Windows only. Those are the limits each product publishes itself, not a full account of any plan.
